📄 14% (0.14x) speedup for set_level in sentry_sdk/api.py

⏱️ Runtime : 704 microseconds 615 microseconds (best of 45 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization caches the Scope.get_isolation_scope method lookup by storing it in a module-level variable _scope_get_isolation_scope. This eliminates repeated attribute lookups on the Scope class.

Key changes:

  • Added _scope_get_isolation_scope = Scope.get_isolation_scope at module level
  • Modified get_isolation_scope() to call the cached method directly
  • Modified set_level() to use the cached method instead of calling get_isolation_scope()

Why this is faster:
In Python, attribute lookups like Scope.get_isolation_scope involve dictionary searches and method resolution overhead. By caching the method reference once at import time, we avoid this lookup cost on every function call. The line profiler shows the most significant improvement in set_level() - from 3409.9ns per hit to 1601.8ns per hit (53% faster per call).

Performance characteristics:
The optimization is most effective for workloads with frequent set_level() calls, as shown in the test results. Tests with many iterations show 14-20% speedups (e.g., test_set_level_performance_many_calls improved from 319μs to 266μs). The optimization provides consistent benefits across all test cases, with minimal overhead for simple cases and substantial gains for high-frequency usage patterns.
